Hand Hygiene: The Simplest Practice We Still Get Wrong
🧼 World Hand Hygiene Day Special Episode

We all know hand hygiene is important—but what if compliance drops at the exact moment it matters most… during outbreaks?

In this episode of the Infection Control Exchange, we explore why hand hygiene failures are often not a knowledge problem, but a behaviour, systems, and culture problem.

Topics include:

• Why compliance declines under pressure
• The gap between audits and real-world practice
• The limitations of traditional hand hygiene monitoring
• The impact outbreaks have on performance
• Practical strategies to improve accountability and culture

Effective hand hygiene can reduce healthcare-associated infections by up to 50%, making it one of the most important infection prevention measures we have.

This episode also features a brief sponsor segment with HealthConnex discussing how digital tools can support audit tracking, outbreak management, and infection prevention analytics.
